Pre-K is PROVEN to be the most powerful tool we have to boost student reading and achievement for a lifetime. Unfortunately we can’t serve the children who need it most, because pre-K hasn’t seen a cost of living increase since 2007. Call Governor Hutchinson at 501-682-2345 and ask him to support a $16 million funding increase for quality pre-K.

NSLA funding (also known as ‘poverty funding’) is named after the National Student Lunch Act because the funding each district gets is determined by the number of students who receive free and reduced meals. The funds are intended for programs which help low-income students overcome barriers and succeed in school.
